Abstract:
Considering the increasing installation of green energy production infrastructures, this preliminary study investigates the visual perception of rural landscapes in the Lucanian Apennines (Basilicata, Southern Italy) by analysing the gaze behaviour of a selected group of participants through eye-tracking approach. The results provide some empirical and introductory evidence for perceptual hierarchies and for visually preferred landscape characteristics involved in landscape appreciation, which will help further the discussion on character assessment and visual impact analysis in geographic inquiry.
